"Thank you, thank you your all to much, really." Sharpay smiled walking across the stage to accept her award. " Well first I have to thank, my loving family, who have been there supporting me from the beginning, my high school drama teacher Ms. Darbus who saw my talent and gave me my first big role, and of course the little people, I cant forget about the little people, I love you all." Sharpay smiled blowing a kiss out to the crowd, causing them to break out into a chant "Sharpay, Sharpay, Sharpay." They cheered getting louder each time.
"Sharpay, Sharpay honey wake up." Troy said shaking his wife gently, holding Tyler against his chest with his other hand.
"Thank you, you're too much." Sharpay smiled sighing in her sleep, just then she felt something wet on her cheek, a tear maybe, but I don't cry, when giving an acceptance speech, she thought confused. Troy stood peering down at his wife, who was even more stubborn in her sleep. Seeing her reaction to Tyler's little present gave him an idea.
"I didn't want to have to do this but it looks like I'm going to have to use my secret weapon" Troy said holding Tyler up to his face, "You ready to go into action solider, now I know this is your first mission, but there's no reason to be nervous I got your back." Tyler just giggled and reached for his father's nose, "You're a brave one son, now let's give mommy a big kiss." Troy said, smiling leaning Tyler towards Sharpay's face.
Feeling another drop, no wait full on tears, Sharpay's eyes began to flutter open, and she was met with a simi-thoothless grin from a drooling Tyler. Wiping her cheek, she muttered her hate for teething, as she sat up in the bed pouting.
"You where having the dream again weren't you?" Troy asked cocking his eyebrow giving her a knowing look. "Where the fans still cheering your name or did you past that part?" He questioned chuckling.
"I have no idea what you're talking about." She replied crossing her arms over her chest.
"Sure you don't, well anyway I have your two biggest fans here, with a little something special for you, on this most joyous day." Troy said in a funny, some what French accent. "We men of the house have decided to, put on a show for the little lady we love most in this whole world." Winking at Sharpay, Troy bent down to set Tyler on the floor.
"Up first we have the amazing Tyler Bolton who will be demonstrating, the scoot for you today." Taking a step back Troy aimed Tyler towards the bed. "Ok little guy do your stuff." Troy said with a smile. Tyler laid on the floor, suddenly amazed by some lint, as his parents watched on.
"Well it seems that he needs a little motivation." Troy said bending down to pick Tyler up. "And what better motivation then the beautiful women who gave him life." Setting Tyler on the bed, Troy once again took a step back.
Sharpay reached her arms out "Come to mommy Ty." She said smiling at her son. Pushing his arms in front of him, and raising his little butt, up in down, not quite crawling but pretty close, Tyler Bolton preformed his amazing scoot. Reaching his mother he was greeted by much praise and many kisses.
"There's my big boy, you were great baby."
"Thank you, thank you we'll be here all day." Troy said smiling. "But before we have any encores, Bolton and company have one more big performance for you this morning. With great pleasure allow me to introduce to you Eric the poet and I bet you didn't even know it." Troy said pointing a finger at Sharpay. Rolling her eyes, she laughed at her husbands attempt at poetry.
Hearing his que Eric walked into the room, wearing a cute little tux, with his hair slick back. "Good morning Madame, it is my honor to make your acquaintance." Eric said bowing to his mother. Looking up to his father, he got thumbs up.
Sharpay was stunned, she knew her fashion genes would one day rub off on her son, but with Troy's influence on Eric it was darn near impossible. "Oh sweetie you look amazing no better than amazing you look Fabulous, how did dad mange to get you into those clothes, I have to get a picture of you." Sharpay said preparing to stand up.
"No wait; I haven't said my poem yet." Eric said poking out his lip, settling back into the bed, Sharpay realized that one day that lip would be the death of her. "Sorry sweetie, proceed." She replied adjusting Tyler on her lap. Smiling Eric clasped his hands and stood up as tall as he could.
"Mommy,
I love you
For all that you do.
I'll kiss you and hug
you
'Cause you love me, too.
You
feed me and need me
To teach you to play,
So smile 'cause I
love you
On this Mother's Day."
Taking a bow Eric walked over to his father who helped him up on the bed, and started for his mother who was applauding as loud as she could. "Bravo, Bravo I knew my kids had talent, but that was amazing sweetie." Sharpay gushed kissing Eric all over the face, who was soon joined by Tyler.
"Eww baby spit" Eric said rubbing his cheek, causing Tyler to giggle, while clinging on to his big brother. Just then Troy walked into the room carrying a tray with pancakes, a juice box, and one single red rose.
"Look mommy we made you breakfast in bed." Eric stated proudly, as Troy set the tray down in front of Sharpay. Sharpay smiled looking down at the pancakes she could tell they were not all the way cooked in the middle. "Wow this looks delicious."
"They are, but don't worry mommy I wouldn't let dad eat any of them, they are all for you." Eric smiled handing his mother the fork. Picking up Tyler before he could, grab hold of the tray, Troy smiled "Yea eat up honey, wouldn't want them to get cold."
Sharpay gulped "You know what guys I think I'm just going to save these for later."
"You don't like my cooking mommy." Eric said preparing his lip. Seeing this Sharpay sighed. " No sweetie its just… Mommy doesn't have any syrup." She replied happy with her comeback.
"Oh here you go Shar." Troy said taking little syrup packets form his pocket. "I know how you love your syrup." He said smiling. Grabbing the packets from his hand, and making a mental note to kill him later, Sharpay smiled and prepared her first bite. Despite her attempts, to defeat it with syrup, Sharpay was met with a gooey batter ball.
"Is it good mommy?" Eric questioned. Swallowing hard, not able to yet speak Sharpay opened her eye really big and nodded her head yes, earning her a huge smile from Eric.
"Well eat up mom, you can have as much as you want." Eric beamed. Happy to see her son smiling again Sharpay, put on what might have been her best performance yet, her joy for the batter balls.

"Bye Sara, bye Lindsay, bye David." Gabriella said while waving goodbye to her last guest of the night. Closing the door behind her, Gabriella walked over to the loveseat where she collapsed. Her mother had thrown her a huge mother's day party, inviting practically all the mothers and their children in the neighborhood, hoping for her daughter to make some new friends. Her intensions were good, but they left Gabriella wiped out, and Nathan had play dates booked through the month. Happy to finally have some peace and quite, Gabriella let her eyes close.
"Gabi honey, wasn't that party great?" Maria asked walking into the room carrying Nathan and ultimately taking away her daughter's chance at a nap. Sighing Gabriella reluctantly open her eyes.
"Yes mama, it was a lot of fun Nathan was the life of the party."
"As he should be, I mean look at this cutie." Maria said kissing Nathan's cheeks. "Though I will never understand his eyes for the life of me." Maria said staring into her grandsons eyes.
"I told you mama, he most likely gets them from Mark's side of the family, his grandparents were German." Shrugging her shoulders Maria seemed satisfied with her daughters answer.
"Well guess what time it is?" Maria asked with a huge smile on her face.
Looking at her gold watch, which she received earlier as a mother's day gift from her mother, "7:15" Gabriella replied.
"No silly it's time for presents." Maria said with excitement.
"But didn't we do the exchanging of the gifts earlier?" Gabriella asked confused
"No that was Mother to Mother, you didn't get Nathan's present yet." Walking to the side of the couch Maria bent down, and picked up a red gift bag. Smiling she walked back over to the love seat and handed the bag to Gabriella.
"Mama what did you do?"
"No, no now this is Nathan's gift I had nothing to do with it." Her mother replied turning her head to the side. Laughing Gabriella reached into the bag, and pulled out and oval shaped gift wrapped tight in tissue paper. Ripping away the tissue paper Gabriella reveal, a clay molding of Nathans hands. The molding was painted a midnight blue, with Nathans prints sky blue, and the letter I with a heart was above the hands in white, as well as the words 'My Mommy' on the bottom. Tracing her sons hands with her fingers, Gabriella hopped off the couch to hug her mother and son.
"Oh thank you mama, it's beautiful I love it."
"I told you Gabi, it was Nathan's doing." Her Mom said patting her daughter's back. Stepping back from her mother Gabriella, tickled Nathan's tummy. "You did that for me, huh baby?" Nathan just giggled and squirmed in his grandma arms.
"Oh, Gabi the nights not over yet, I didn't want Nathan to feel left out so I just had to pick up this cute little thing I saw while I was out today. Now it's a surprise, so you two close your eyes and no peeking." Maria said handing Nathan over to his mother. As she left the room Gabriella carried Nathan over to the couch and took a seat.
"What is that Grandma of yours up to now?" Nathan just stared at his mother with a smile. "What you're not going to talk?" Gabriella questioned cocking and eyebrow. "Well I have my ways of getting information." Gabriella began tickling Nathan, laughing as he laughed.
"Ok guys here I come eyes closed." Maria announced making her way down the hall.
"Lucky you, saved by the Grandma." Smiling Gabriella closed her eyes, and placed a hand over Nathan's. Walking quietly into the room, Maria placed her present next to Gabriella and Nathan on the couch. "Ok open." Maria exclaimed. Opening her eyes "Oh my God." Gabriella exclaimed looking at the adorable golden retriever puppy next to her. Nathan backed away not yet trusting the animal in front of him, with some soothing words from his mother, he reached for the puppy and received a hand licking causing him to once again laugh.
"Mama he's adorable, but what about your allergies?"
"That's what these babies are for." Maria replied holding up a bottle of pills, smiling. Nathan soon began diving to reach for the puppy across his mother's lap. "Ok, ok I get it." Gabriella said placing Nathan and the puppy on the floor. Watching the two play, Maria laughed "It's like having a little brother with fur." At the mention of the word brother, Gabriella remembered something she wanted to do today.
"Mama could you watch him for a sec I have a call that I have to make."
"Yea sure go ahead, sweetie." Maria said taking a seat next to Nathan on the floor. Heading into her room, Gabriella reached into her purse and pulled out her address book, turning to the letter B she found the name she desired Bolton.
……………………….
Ring, ring, ring
"Troy could you get that?" Sharpay asked hopping around her bedroom, trying to put on her shoe.
"Yea sure honey I'm on it.' Troy said stuffing his mouth with popcorn, not moving his attention form the game that was currently on TV.
Hearing the phone continuing to ring, "Fine I'll get it myself, and Troy if your not dress by the time I get off this phone may God help you." Sharpay huffed answering the phone.
"Hello fabulous speaking."
"Hi, is this Sharpay?"
"The one and only, and you are?"
"Oh hey girl it's me, Gabriella, we were roommates at the hospital, remember we both had boys" Gabriella asked giggling into the phone.
"Oh Gabriella, of course I remember you." Sharpay replied racking her brain trying to recall the name of her son. Nathaniel, no that wasn't it, Nevin, no, what was it….. Nathan yes that was it.
"So how is Nathan doing?" Sharpay asked pleased with herself.
"Oh Nate he's great, he's always on the move babbling the whole way, how about your Tyler?"
"Same, except instead of babbling I swear he's trying to sing. So how is your first mother's day going?"
"Great well first my mom threw this amazing party….." setting the phone down on her vanity Sharpay admired herself in the mirror adding a little more mascara to her left eyelash, she smiled "Prefect" she lipped to her reflection. Picking up the phone she made it just in time to hear Gabriella's conclusion "And then I had this notion to call you, and here we are talking on the phone." Gabriella said once again giggling.
Sharpay cringed "Sounds great." She replied in a sickly sweet voice. "Well Troy and I were just on out way out to dinner, we're taking out mothers out it's kind of a family tradition on mothers day."
"Oh I'm sorry, I didn't mean to hold you up, well have a great dinner and tell your boys hi from me.
"I will, and you tell your family the same, ok, bye bye now.'" Hanging up the phone Sharpay shuttered "Sweet girl, but way too perky for my liking." She said to herself making her way down the hall.
Reaching the living room Sharpay stood shocked at the bottom of the stairs, there sat her soon to be dead husband watching some type of sport, with a jersey and a pair of sweats on. Just then something good must have happened, because Troy jumped up, and began doing a victory dance. As he broke out into the cabbage patch, Troy turned in mid cabbage patch, and saw his wife standing arms crossed, tapping her foot, with her perfectly waxed eyebrow arched.
"Honey…" He said reaching his arms toward his wife, at a lost of words. He received a low growl in return, Oh no anything but the growl, he would take BOLTON over the growl any day, where was Eric when he needed him most Troy thought to himself. Taking a step a back Troy, planned his course of action, he couldn't run for it because she was blocking the steps, and sweet talking was out of the question, so he did what any real man would do dropped to his knees and prepared to beg for forgiveness.
'Honey I know, I'm sorry, you were right I was wrong." Troy said ever line that he could think of that had ever worked in the past, while walking on his knees toward his wife.
Reaching his wife Troy wrapped his arms around her waist. "Let me make it up to you, anything you want." Troy said looking up to his wife with his best puppy dog face. Losing her glared Sharpay smiled down to her husband.
"One word….." Uncrossing her arms she placed a hand under Troy chin and looked into his eyes and said "Opera." Troy winced as if someone punched him in the gut, and dropped his head and arms from there place. Satisfied with her answer Sharpay walked over to the couch smiling "You have fifteen minutes, oh and Gabriella says hi." Troy looked at his wife, not sure if to be turned on by her evilness or appalled. Seeing his stare Sharpay asked "Well what are you waiting for." Once again raising her eyebrow and it was at that moment Troy realized his answer, defiantly turned on.
